There are 2 phases of the disease: the active phase and the inactive phase. The active phase usually occurs during the first 12 months of the disease. The stabilization of the plaque is known as the inactive phase. We are inviting men with stable disease to take part in this study which will test BOTOX® versus a placebo (a placebo contains no medicine). Click here to go to the study site

The clinical trial results are coming in for Xiaflex. Auxilium is recruiting patients for their phase III study. Xiaflex is not available as a prescription for treating Peyronies, but it is approved for treatment for Dupuytrens Contracture:

The first phase II trials, sponsored and monitored by BioSpecifics Technologies Corp., licensor of Xiaflex, with follow up and data analysis conducted by Auxilium, showed promising results. Both studies were open label and up to 12 months in duration. The trials were conducted to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of Xiaflex in the treatment of Peyronie's disease. Clinical success was defined as change from baseline in deviation angle of at least 25%.In Study A (n=25), three injections of Xiaflex, each administered on a separate day, were given over seven to ten days. Patients received a second series of three injections 12 weeks later. Patients were evaluated at three, six, and nine months post-last injection. The mean baseline deviation angle was 52.8°. With respect to deviation angle, clinical success was achieved at three and six months with 58% and 53% of patients, respectively.The best results were achieved with a three-treatment series of three injections each in Study B (n=10). In Study B, patients received three injections of Xiaflex administered one per day, separated by at least one day each, over a one-week timeframe. Patients received two additional series of three injections, each spaced six weeks apart. The mean baseline deviation angle was 50.2°. At nine month follow up (post-first injections), 25% or greater reduction in deviation angle was achieved in eight out of nine patients who completed the study (89%, 1 patient had 24% reduction in deviation angle). Based on the investigator's global assessment, 67% of subjects were very much improved or much improved after treatment with Xiaflex.The most common adverse events reported in both studies were local administration site reactions that were mild or moderate in severity, non-serious, and resolved in time without medical attention.
